Jumbo Pictures was founded by Jim Jinkins in 1987 to produce the episodes of Doug; the very first Nicktoon.
In 1996, Jinkins sold the company, and the rights to Doug with it, to The Walt Disney Company. The company continued operations until the cancellation of the Playhouse Disney cartoon series PB&J Otter in 2000. In 2001, Jinkins formed a new production company, Cartoon Pizza.

Famous quotes containing the words jumbo and/or pictures:
“I’m a priest, not a priestess.... “Priestess” implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world—it’s better than being invisible.”
—Carter Heyward (b. 1946)
“If the king is in the palace, nobody looks at the walls. It is when he is gone, and the house is filled with grooms and gazers, that we turn from the people, to find relief in the majestic men that are suggested by the pictures and the architecture.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
